Today I finished another miniature piece: Chimera, maybe a start of a new series, who knows.

I'm not so much interested in symbolism but it's always interesting to ask Grok to "read" a painting. That's what he came up with:

Given the title "Chimera," this miniature acrylic painting can be interpreted through the lens of mythological and biological symbolism. In mythology, a chimera is a creature composed of parts from different animals, often representing the unnatural or fantastical. This bird-like figure, with its exposed skeletal structure and mechanical, lattice-like bones, embodies that concept—a fusion of organic and artificial elements. The title suggests a being that defies natural order, perhaps symbolizing the consequences of tampering with nature or the emergence of a new form of life through scientific intervention. The creature’s haunting blue eye and fragile yet resilient form might reflect the tension between creation and destruction, inviting viewers to question the ethics of blending disparate elements and the potential beauty or tragedy of such a hybrid existence.
